Greetings fellow fire truck fanatics! You are invited to attend the second annual show in this area dedicated only to fire apparatus. We will be focusing our show and contest strictly on pumpers, tankers, aerials, and brush trucks.

The pre-registration entry fee is $25 per apparatus. The cut-off date for pre-registration is August 21, 2010. Anything entered after that date up to and including the day of the event will be $50. Please fill out an entry form for each vehicle you plan to bring, make your check payable to Spencer Fire Department Auxiliary, and send to: Spencer Fire Department Auxiliary, Post Office Box 426, Spencer, North Carolina 28159.

We'll start the day off right with a parade. Only trucks that are registered for the event will be allowed to participate. If you want your truck in the parade, you're asked to have it at the Lee Street Staging Area (see map) by 9:30 a.m. The parade will start promptly at 10 a.m. The gates to the museum will also open at 9 a.m. The judging will start around 11:00 a.m., so if you're not planning to be in the parade, please plan to arrive before 10 a.m. so that we can place your apparatus.
